TOPIC:

The WAFL salary cap has increased by $19,000 for next season as part of a three-year plan that was agreed upon this week by the West Australian Football Commission.

The salary cap will increase from $245,000 up to $264,000 next season
before it will go up to $275,000 in 2026
and $285,000 in 2027

Huge!

Still $100k behind the SANFL though.

The gummies will struggle to keep up with that. Time for a raid on the Belgravia Sharks. Where do we send the permission letter to speak to your players? PO Box....?

And the women's WAFL is getting a 20k salary cap increased to 25 in 2026 and 30k in 2027.

the SANFL model is supplemented by the sale of both VFL licences during the Adelaide Oval redevelopment
and there was something with Pokies at clubs as well


Interestingly the VFL contributed diddly squat to Optus Stadium
but take plenty from it mind you
and duly they laugh during every single millimetre of the trip to that fat Victorian bank account

I'm reliably informed WCE have told the WAFC that they won't be paying up 
but they will not reduce their various overpaid bloated salaries or their myriad of jobs for the boys
and this is despite yet more record memberships and relatively stable sponsor lists
incredibly the scum at WAFC have just limply accepted it all 
talk about the tail leading the dog

really it is time for the WAFC to flog the licences - we get squat from VFL HQ because we refuse to flog them
SANFL/SACA got plenty from VFL when they sold theirs 
and every other state in Australia including Tasmania are getting assistance money
nothing here however
fricken joke

Pity Perth are such a shite side - you may have been able to lure some decent players.

How's all this being funded?
